HI I'm new here, First post!!

I need to know which pocket pc is the best for just web browsing? I'm wanting one that will preform aswell as a laptop or desktop web browser. i know im asking for alot but if im going to send 300+ to browse the web i want it to be good.

  I want it to be able to handle all web content. all formats for vid, pics, flash, and with enough mem. to beable to handle the most demanding of web pages.

 Am i just wishing or is there one out there that will handle all of this with in the browser?


 I have looked every where i can think of but noone talks about how well the web browsers preforms.

Thanks!!

Sorry you will be out of luck if you want something to handle all possible web content - its simply too much.

Get pretty much any pocket PC - though ive found some render pages faster than others. Are youlooking at WiFi or cellular data? You may need a 3G device to get decent speeds, and you may have a choice between CDMA/EVDO and WCDMA/HSDPA/UMTS etc. Some devices have larger screens.

Pocket IE ('PIE') is adequate for average everyday needs, but Netfront and Opera both put on good browsers too, with more functionality (but still not everything).

You may need a UMPC instead of a pocket pc.
